In the 2nd to last episode of Season Two for A Braver Brand , I am bringing you one of my favorite conversations to date. Professionally-speaking, Katherine Gramann is a mindset & business coach for female entrepreneurs and the founder and owner of Lake Effect Co., but if you ask her, her real bio should read: serial entrepreneur, lake lover, sunrise and sunset-chaser, and a big fan of inspired, intentional, unbelievably fun living. In this week’s episode, we get honest and real about why it’s all about the inner work, how our core values inform our business choices, and why nature is the real mindset work (and needs to be protected and celebrated at all costs).
